Due in large part to my previous experiences with TeaGschwendner's teas, I always look forward to new samples from them. My sample of Coconut White Tea is comprised of what appears to be very high quality large pieces of leaf along with a generous helping of large shavings of coconut. I have to admit I actually pulled out a piece of the coconut and ate it, confirming to myself that I may be taking this tea "tasting" a little too literally! Regardless, the piece of coconut tasted fresh and delicious and piqued my interest in this tea even further.Upon brewing, the coconut aroma is more pronounced, but even dry there is a sweet sense of the tropics to the aroma. I took my first sips when the tea was still quite hot and wasn't able to discern much of the coconut flavor, just the white tea, which was good in its own right. But after allowing it to cool just a bit, the coconut is much more pronounced. I like to drink the juice (or water) of young coconuts and the coconut flavor of this tea that lingers after swallowing is very reminiscent of coconut water. I would think that this would make a very tasty iced tea as well, my only reservation being that the delicate coconut flavor might get lost in an iced version. As a plus, the flavor held up extremely well to a second infusion and I believe the flavor of the coconut was actually more pronounced in the second cup.
